I have a formative background in gymnastics and dance. My passion for yoga began to fully emerge in college. I have always had a love for movement that couples strength and flexibility. I completed my 250hr yoga certification training from Asheville Community Yoga in 2018 focused in Vinyasa. My style of teaching incorporates a deep connection to the breath, opportunities for strengthening the body, and a focus on increasing flexibility while holding space for what your body needs. For me this is a practice that continues both on and off the mat. Excited to share practice with you!

Kristi began teaching in 2018 after completing her 200-hour Teacher Training in Vinyasa. Since then she has taught a variety of classes including Vinyasa, Yin, Gentle, Power, and Aerial Yoga. She also enjoys experimenting with other styles of yoga such as AcroYoga. Her heart-centered classes focus on cultivating a deeper sense of compassion, self-love, and connection between your mind, body, and spirit through movement (Vinyasa), stillness (Yin), and breath-work. She looks forward to welcoming you on the mat.

I began practicing yoga in high school as a means of managing anxiety and connecting to my body. From then on, yoga has been a healing and present practice in my life. Yoga has given me a foundation of body, mind, and spiritual awareness. In 2024, I completed a 200-HR Yoga Teacher Training in Koh-phangan, Thailand. My training focuses on Hatha yoga, vinyasa, and breath work practices. Within my classes, I try my best to hold space for stillness, reflection and growth. I practice and teach yoga with the intention of connecting deeper with myself and others. I hope to share the joy of practice with you!

Stephanie is a lifelong student of the system of yoga who has taught for over a decade. She loves to guide classes that focus on mind and heart, as well as a strong physical practice. Her family has been here over twenty years, and after a lot of travel and exploration she settled down to call WNC home seven years ago. She and her two littles take in the wonder of the mountains every chance they get.

Courtney Jarrell first found yoga as a way to deal with the stress and anxiety of college life. While she found the postures good for her physical health, it was really the breathwork and positive effects on the mind that led Courtney to deepen her practice and seek out a teacher training program. In 2009 she got her 200 hour Hatha Yoga Certification from the Davenport School of Yoga in Davenport, Iowa. Since then, she has been teaching a variety of yoga classes from aerial yoga in Iowa to restorative and adaptive classes in Utah. In 2020 she deepened her training with the Prenatal Yoga Certification from Yoga Education Institute. Her passion is teaching alignment-based Hatha yoga of all levels. Her classes are open to all, offering students options to deepen their practice if they desire or offering modifications to fit their individual needs and restrictions. Courtney believes all people are able to do yoga and invites everyone to join her class.
